LIGIBILITY

BEAM Plus Interiors covers the planning, design, construction and “as-

built” condition of the fit-out, renovation and refurbishment of non-

domestic, normally occupied spaces within buildings.

Certification under BEAM Plus Interiors is designed to take place as a

one-stage process at the end of the fit-out, renovation or refurbishment

works and associated testing and commissioning. This helps to ensure

that design commitments have been implemented, construction

practices met the required standards, and that testing and

commissioning has verified the installation’s performance. Projects

cannot be certified before their completion.

It is the BSL’s aim for certification to be granted as soon as possible

upon project completion so that Applicants are able to promote their

achievements at the earliest opportunity.
